Durnig the development of this Extension various Ideas about how I could extend this extension where gathered. Some of the ideas made version 1.0, others will wait for future releases. The following are the major new features planned.

V1.1 - Due July 2008

Rip 'Packages' - Packages are defined under a domain (e.g. amazon.com) and include various 'page' matches (each with there own XPath queries) in a single configuration. If a URL
matches more that 'Page' under a Package all XPath queries of the Matching pages will be applied. A Package will also include excluded pages which if match will mean
that specific pages will not be included.

Aardvark Support - If Aardvark is detect RIP will optionally use Aardvark selection mechanisms.

Inspector Support - A RIP menu will be added to the DOM Inspector so that it can be used to easily detect content.
